| 466837 | 2006-06-29 01:47:00 | Hi Surfer Joe, Now that is interesting- when I opened the site - nothing happened so impatient as always I clicked "download"-this in a box to the right of the blank screen-as it started to download- I saw an arrow to another box that said Macintosh --I now asumed that the download I first ticked was related to Windows when by the look of it, not so-- O K could I have got that dmg file before I woke up to the error- if so how would I eliminate that? I use w XP, with sp2 etc, Pentium 4 , 3.1 Cpu, 512 mb ddr ram ,Outlook express, Ad Aware,Spybot,and spyware blaster, for "housekeeping" I use broadband with 1 gb space allowed,windows media v 10 . I am just getting used to the thrill of BB speed ( I listen to music while online- this not available with dial up---I think that is all that could be relevant to you for an answer. The site that started this is video.google.com Talk to me bones- perhaps you are getting some where :o effie c |

| 466838 | 2006-06-29 02:00:00 | I have that same video saved in my WMP..ain't it the greatest? Anyway...I think I'd search and find files that end with .dmg for a start. Then, look at the date/time of the attempted dnld and make sure you've got the right one, and drag it kicking and screaming to the recycle bin... Then...let me see if I have the Windows dnld link...brb... OK, here it is..... video.google.com Try it again..... |

| 466841 | 2006-06-29 16:48:00 | One of the things a lot of people don't understand is that Firefox tries to protect you from ActiveX things and the inserted malcode that might be on an active website . You might lose a little functionality on sites that have those things, but FF will pull down a little yellow bar telling you that something like a plug-in is needed to view the site you are on, correctly . If I can use and see the site well enough, I don't bother with the plug-in . If you think it's a safe move, go ahead and click it . . . but FF has warned you that it could be dangerous, which is something IE will not say . :groan: I perspnally never allow Macromedia Flash Player to exist as a resident in my system and call it any time I truly-gotta-have-it . I try to brute it into WMP if I can, as I feel it's much safer there and I can control it from that position better . Ya just gotta find file extension handlers (codecs) for WMP, that's all . Some will not work though no matter what I try . This is good training for my move to Linux . . . and work-arounds! |
